♛Condition

Very good vintage shape, presents impeccably. Clean and unfaded. 50+ years old. 

There were a few teeny-tiny breaks in the knit that were carefully repaired and are sturdy and essentially now invisible. 

The side hemline of skirt has a 3/4" darn (sitting right at the hem). This dress can easily be taken up a tiny bit and the imperfection removed, but you absolutely can also ignore it -- it is not visible during wear and frankly very difficult to see even up close. 

Priced as-is, but looks pristine to the eye...best of both worlds! This dress KILLS.
